If you are poking your head in to see what is going on, or if you were given this link by a friend - Welcome to the first poll of the second season of Idol Minor.

The “main event”, open to all ages but mostly adults, is LJ Idol. It is a writing competition like no other, a literary street fight for the ages.

Idol Minor is just for kids under the age of 12. There are polls, and you should vote for your favorites - but no one is going to be eliminated.

This is a chance for you to support and encourage emerging talent. The way you were encouraged and supported, or, all too often, the way you *wish* that you were.

There are some wonderful stories in the first week. I have high hopes of what we are going to see from them in the weeks to come.

Thank you to our writers, and their adult sidekicks. I hope that everyone reads, comments and votes for their favorites. You can vote for as many entries as you like - and please spread the word to your friends and family to vote as well. You do not need a Livejournal to vote. LJ allows FB, Twitter, Dreamwidth and any number of Open Source IDs to take part in the site, including voting. Just please, one vote per physical body. :)

The poll will close Thursday, May 10th at 8pm EDTGood luck to everyone!
